Document 1
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith (1776)
Book I, Chapter I: Of the Division of Labor
Pre-Reading Prediction: The title of the chapter excerpted below is Of the Division of Labor. What might the
phrase "division of labor" mean?
"To take an example [...] the trade of the pin-maker; a workman not educated to this business [...] nor
acquainted [aware or knowledgeable] with the use of the machinery [...] could [...] make one pin in a day, and
certainly could not make twenty. But in the way in which this business is now carried on, [...] it is divided into
a number of branches [...] One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a
fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head [...] [T]he important business of making a pin is [...] divided into
about eighteen [...] operations [..] Those ten persons, therefore, could make among them upwards of forty-
eight thousand pins in a day. [..] But if they had all wrought separately and independently [...] they certainly
could not each of them have made twenty, perhaps not one pin in a day..."
